Hi guys, to start off I'm gonna say this was our first attempt at solar and after learning about it seems to be totally janky. I bought a kit off Amazon for 1400w and proceeded to hack the system together based o. Those japanglish instructions. Please help me get this fixed.
I have 10 panels at 100w each wired in 5 strings of 2. Then I have a morning star 60a pwm charge controller for that connected to 10 batteries (again 5 strings of 2) 12v 950cca high cycle. Then I have a go power 3kw 24v inverter going to the house.
theres also a 400w wind turbine connected to missouri wind and solar equipment (rectifier, pwm charge controller, relay, dump charge)
Then have a generator running a car charger that charges 24v at 30a when needed.
the wind turbine is a new addition and battery time has dropped off a cliff since I added that. I went ahead and unplugged it to make sure the dump load wasnt kicking in by accident but it didnt improve battery time at all.
as far as loads we normally have somewhere from 200w to 400w loads 24/7.
